Is anyone legitimately surprised?

Great season. Magical time for everyone, all that jazz.

But is anyone legitimately surprised that we lost the Superbowl? We had a chance to win, we had a chance to lose. This team over the past 20 years has always served up heartbreak, and it's just another season in the end for us.

Yeah, typical loser Panthers.  I thought it would be different this year.  I know it's not healthy to keep hoping.  

[TheGreatestOfAllTimeCam]

I'm not shocked lol

[panik]

It comes with the territory, I have been hearth broken by this team way more than by women.

Carolina in general are the masters at failing when they get close. Watch a team that already won it in the past 10 years win it again next year. 

So much for the "future" the Panthers were supposed to bring in, it'll be the Patriots, Broncos, or Packers at the top again next year like always unfortunately. 

[Shields17]

Listen. I get it. There's going to be two factions the next few months. The faction that a) Fights for what we did over the past season and wears it like a badge of honor, and the faction that b) Just looks at this like another season where the team broke the hearts of their fans when it mattered most. 

I'm just sitting here, at my computer, shocked tonight. What happened? You know what happened? Being a Carolina Panthers fan happened.

I'm not

And this problem isn't only in the NFL, in the NBA it's usually the same team that wins 80% of the time. The San Antonio Spurs have been the only NBA small market team to win anything in the past 35 years. This is no coincidence, small market teams have some kind of hex on them.

I try not to get my hopes up, so I was preparing myself for the worst.  Just don't think it's mean to be for this franchise if this year wasn't the year.

[cbully]

not shocked but it is clear that the old-heads need to go: Cotchery, Tolbert, Harper, Remmers, and Shula.

 

and I'm very happy for my Panthers. we did much with little this year offensively!

It was a game there is always a chance for the ball to bounce the other teams way. It doesn't matter I am a Panthers fan for life

WOW.

Seriously.  If you are that kind of fan gtfo of here.  Seriously what are you doing?  The team played over their heads all year... went from counted out to 18-2.  Seriously did you hear that... 18-2.  And they let you down?  Who the fug are you Tom Brady?  get the hell out of here.  This team brought so much positivity to Charlotte, the Carolinas, and the NFL as a whole.  They were a breath of fresh air all year, they played with heart and soul, and left it all on the field.

I understand being upset and emotional, but attacking this team is ridiculous and reveals nothing but personal shortcomings.  They are hurting worse than we ever could.  They will be back.  Either support the team or get the fug out of here,

I'm not.  I said Denver 20-16 just because of their nasty D.

No hate directed towards you guys...  those of you that have seen me the last few weeks here know that my hate is directed towards the Seahawks.

I wasn't expecting Manning to do much... and he didn't.  But I did think if Denver kept the game under 20 points they'd win... 

Cya next season.
